Here's an update. I'm sure anyone looking in this thread would have been seeing the entries and votes for R5 of the splice contests. I mentioned there that the mug I made was essentially an update of an old character.
This is Sophus Hyperion, Son of Ludwig, Father of Daren and Maddox, Grandfather of Shad, Maria and Lennox, and Great-Grandfather of Luka/Captain Marcellus above. He's just a recolor of Elbert. He was just there as a bridge between Ludwig and Daren/Maddox. As such he was the least developed of the main family.
But that man is Sophus no more.
This would be the new Sophus...if I wasn't renaming him. See, just about all of the Hyperion family names are English or German, the exceptions being Faustus - which is Roman but can be shortened to Faust, and Sophus, which is Greek. So this man is being named Arron. Arron marks the second time one of my characters was revamped with a new name and the third redesign.
This was the first of that category. This was the original template of Karn Hyperion, which was Faustus' middle child. He was meant to be an assassin who's sole goal was avenging his fathers 'death' by killing Maddox.
And this was his revamp. This is Corin Hyperion, now eldest child of Faustus Hyperion who would be a swordsman/mercenary who would have actually killed Maddox in that alternate timeline I mentioned in the first post. That time wasn't for revenge but was to ensure that no one could contest Faustus' claim to the Hyperion family lands/titles.
This is Lennox Hyperion, Shad's cousin and Maddox's son. This first mug was his original design which always seemed a bit off to me. The second mug is his redesign which I based off of the Tactician from Awakening. He was originally a fighter. But when I figured I'd be killing of Maddox and someone needed to take up his 'Infinity -1' sword Dyrnwyn, he'd need to be better with a sword than with and axe and became a fighter. I need to find some time to put the revamp Lennox into his old coat, but this was alt timeline and neither Lennox nor Shad had their traditional long coats.
And for the hell of it, I did a short update to Daren.
Funnily enough, I just made the 'old' Sophus mug a few minutes before. Apparently when I made the original Hyperions part of Elberts body was cut off, so the bottom five rows of pixels were gone. I also fixed a problem I noticed where the whites of Daren's eyes were missing.
I'll be posting more eventually. Maybe those of you who have no clue who the hell I am bringing up in the back stories will finally have a mug to link to them.
